The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man in connection with a quadruple homicide.
William Graham Oliver, 54, of Wilmer, is charged with eight counts of capital murder, including murder of two or more persons, capital murder during a burglary, capital murder of a child younger than 14 years old and one count of capital murder in the presence of a child.
Lisa Gail Fields, 46, her daughter, Keziah Arionna Luker, 17, Luker’s unborn child, and Fields’ 12-year-old son, Thomas Cordelle, Jr., were found dead inside their home at 7950 Auble Moody Road, in the early morning hours of April 20.
The victims had their hands bound behind their backs with zip ties. Fields was stabbed, and her throat cut; Cordelle’s neck was cut so deeply that he was nearly decapitated, and Luker had been shot.
Oliver was taken into custody on Tuesday and booked into the Mobile County Jail just before 5 p.m. He has a criminal history in Mobile County dating back to 1990. Previous arrests include numerous burglary charges, breaking and entering and harassment.
Oliver is considered innocent until proven guilty.
